Connection types supported by the XIO
The XIO Ethernet interfaces support several connection topologies in the field. This section introduces the
connections and configuration modes supported by the XIO. Additional sections, later in this chapter,
provide more detailed descriptions of common topologies.

for the link to the Network Communication Guide which has several
connection scenarios and detailed procedures for configuration.
9.1.1
Connection types
The XIO supports standard-compliant Ethernet interfaces. Its Ethernet ports support connections between
the XIO and the following:
–
Hosts systems (PC or laptop): for access by user interfaces and other host software for local or
remote communication to configure, monitor, or collect data.
–
Network equipment (Ethernet hubs/switches): to support network communications locally (onsite) or
remotely (over the customer network).
–
Other XIOs, remote controllers, and flow computers with Ethernet ports: to connect additional
equipment without additional external Ethernet switches or network equipment. The XIO can switch
traffic for attached devices when connected in daisy chain fashion.
–
Other ABB or third-party control or peripheral equipment with Ethernet ports: for a variety of field
peripheral equipment such as measurement devices. Peripherals must have an Ethernet port for
direct connection.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
When the XIO is in 4-port switch mode, never connect the Ethernet
ports to an external Ethernet switch at the same time (
). Connecting to the same
switch in this mode causes loss of connections to the device.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
If the XIO is inside an
X
CORE enclosure or in its own enclosure,
connection to an XIO Ethernet port may require internal access to the XIO. An external
Ethernet port may not be available on an XIO enclosure as it is optional at the time of
purchase. Illustrations in the following sections show local access as direct connections to
XIO ports.
